Roman Reigns is back on track after millions of fans prayed for him throughout the Leukemia period. He appeared on the show to announce that he is back in remission from Leukemia. There’s not much update available for when he’s going to be back for in-ring return. With Wrestlemania on the horizon, we assume it is happening at the grandest stage.
WWE Raw kicked off right through what we have expected. The Big Dog was in the house to open the show. Audience present in love in attendance gave him a thunderous ovation to the franchise player or the company. He entered the ring by high-fiving the crowd through the ramp. The Rock’s mother was in attendance for the show to embrace him.
WWE Raw audience was loud enough to welcome him with ‘this is your yard’ chants. Roman Reigns greeted them back with the following quotes,
“I’m telling you — it wasn’t just WWE fans. It was everyone. It felt like everyone who liked me, people who didn’t like me, everyone was at my aid. Everyone was surrounding me with love and support. I’m telling you so many people prayed for me, God’s voicemail was full to the max.”
The crowd was buzzing all around as we wondered what the big announcement could be from the Big Dog. The former Universal Champion took sometimes to soak it all in before breaking the good news to the crowd.
Roman Reigns announced that he is now officially back in remission as the crowd erupted in cheers. They broke into ‘welcome back’ chants as the Big Dog went back to backstage. On the ramp, Seth Rollins made his entrance to hug the poster boy of the company creating a sweet reunion. This delivered a feel-good opening to this week’s WWE Raw.
Reigns also appeared on the show, once more with Rollins to save the third member of The Shield from a beatdown. The duo sent McIntyre, Lashley, Elias, and Corbin for retreat as they targeted Ambrose. Reigns hit a spear on McIntyre that received a tremendous ovation.
Stakes could not be higher for WWE Raw with Roman Reigns returning on the show. He is the franchise player of the company, after all, who runs things around. His long absence can cause major blunders for WWE programming. Already the four-month hiatus took down the TV ratings to the lowest extent.
Fans received a ray of hope with the return of Roman Reign that Wrestlemania season could become interesting. A number of spoilers were available on the internet that indicated that his in-ring comeback is just a matter of time. The former Universal Champion was in tremendous shape despite Leukemia affecting his body.
His family has been rock-solid support since day one while battling this life-threatening disease. They had a long vacation in Hawaii that worked much positive for his body. Plus, he also featured in the first Hollywood venture with The Rock in Hobbs and Shaw movie. So Roman Reigns was very much active even after going through this treatment process.
